Playhouse Decor - Ideas and Tips for Beautifying the Inside of Your Playhouse!
When we look at purchasing a playhouse, often we pay the most attention to the playhouse exterior - after all, that is what our kids will get most excited about, and what our neighbors will see. Although it's not crucial to decorate the interior of a playhouse to the same extent you would decorate a child's room, a few inexpensive touches can make a great difference to any playhouse interior. Here are a few ideas and tips to make decorating your playhouse easy and fun!
1. Paint your playhouse - a coat of paint can make a dramatic difference to the playhouse interior. Even if your playhouse interior is simply plain wood, adding paint will make it look beautifully finished. Remember to choose light colors to paint your playhouse, as most playhouses do not have electricity! Painting the interior a light color can help brighten it up as well - your kids will be able to play longer in their playhouse if there is more light, and their eyes don't have to strain to see!
2. Try wallpaper - If you want an
easy way to incorporate a theme to your playhouse, some wallpaper, or
borders can be fabulous additions to a playhouse interior. Decorating
your playhouse with wallpaper is quick and easy, and you can purchase a
variety of wallpapers that are durable, washable and strippable.
Amazon.com has a huge selection of wallpaper and borders in many
different children's themes.

3. Add some child-sized furniture - You can find child-sized furniture just about anywhere. A simple table and chair set can make the playhouse much more comfortable. Visit our Playhouse Furniture and Accessories page for some great online ideas and companies.
4. Window treatments - Make them yourself, or buy them - they are a simple and inexpensive way to turn a playhouse into a "play home".
5. Wall Art - It's easy to really spruce things up with some art. You can pin up some of your child's art, framed or unframed. An inexpensive way to get some great art for a playhouse is to use old calendars, greeting cards, or even wallpaper (sometimes you can get old wallpaper books for free from stores). You get great art, and you can frame it any way you like!
6. Add some rugs, or other cute accessories. You can find all types of rugs to go with your playhouse's theme - whether it is flowers or dinosaurs! Visit Posh Tots for a great selection of cute rugs for children, as well as other great children's accessories!
